Night photograph of a Deepavali-style fireworks display on an open dirt ground. A bare-chested man in front, wearing a white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth over his shoulder and a rudraksha-style mala, lights or handles a firework with one arm extended, while sparks shoot upward in tall fountains. Smoke drifts across the frame. Several other people in white dhotis and white shirts stand in the background, some with malas, and one figure on the right wears a white robe and mala. The scene is lit only by the sparks and dim ground light against a dark sky.

A night photograph of a crowd holding lit sparklers and crackers in a dark outdoor setting, with bright sparks and smoke rising. A man in a white shirt and a woman in a white sari with a gold-bordered edge stand near the centre, holding sparklers. Two boys in white shirts stand at the right, one holding a bright sparkler. Other people in white clothing stand in the dim background, one with a beaded necklace. The scene reflects Deepavali celebrations with fireworks.

Night photo of a crowd of devotees in plain white clothes bursting sparklers and firecrackers on a dirt ground during Deepavali celebrations. Sparks and smoke fill the frame. One person at the centre-left wears an orange-saffron shawl over white clothing; a figure in the background also wears an orange-saffron wrap. Several people wear white dhotis and kurtas, some with eyeglasses. Sparklers are held at arm's length, with bright light trails and scattered embers in the foreground.

Night photograph of a large fountain-style firework throwing bright sparks and smoke upward on a dark ground. A man in white dhoti and white kurta with a yellow shawl and rudraksha-style beads stands beside it, watching. Another white-clad figure stands further back in the dark on the right. The scene suggests a Deepavali firework display at an ashram campus.

Night photograph of a group at an outdoor Deepavali celebration, holding lit sparklers that throw bright sparks and smoke against a dark background. A man in the centre wears a light, long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, with a sparkler raised in one hand. To the right, a person in a white shirt and white trousers holds another sparkler. Several women in white and cream saris stand among the group on the left, and a child in a dark skirt is near the centre. Sparks lie scattered across the ground. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable from appearance, so the role is given as a devotee among the celebrants.

Night photo outdoors on sandy ground at a Deepavali celebration. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a long wrapped red-edged dhoti and multiple rudraksha malas, with long dark curly hair swept back, holds two lit sparklers out to the sides and smiles. Beside him a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and tilak stands smiling. Behind them a large seated crowd of people in white clothing sits in the dark, with a few lights along a building wall. The orange-robed figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and malas, consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person.

A night photograph of a Deepavali celebration with people standing in two rows on a dirt path, many holding sparklers and fireworks that throw bright sparks and white smoke. Most figures wear white or light clothing and are mostly in silhouette against a dark background, with a few lamps glowing in the distance. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, so the identity is left unsure.
